"There is no other alternative to seek presence of Shri Justice C S Karnan. We issue bailable warrants of the sum of Rs 10,000 in the nature of personal bond to the satisfaction of the arresting officer," a seven-judge bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar said.
Justice Karnan passed a 'suo motu judicial order in the interest of the nation to protect the general public from corruption and unrest'.
The apex court, which came out with a detailed verdict on the six-month jail term awarded to Karnan, then a sitting judge of the Calcutta high court now retired, said his case was "unfortunate" as it concerned action against a sitting judge which had drawn the attention of both domestic and foreign media.
